I'm pretty sure virtually everybody knows about this sad tragic event at Orlando Seaworld when ...

a 40-year old female trainer, named Dawn Brancheau, was killed by Tilikum in his tank in front of the audience about two weeks ago. Witnesses say the killer whale pulled her down and played with her too roughly underwater and drowned her. Then when she arrived at a nearby hospital, she was pronounced dead. So in response of this horrific incident, they closed down both Seaworlds in Orlando and in San Diego as they investigate what just happened.

Now what I'm surprised is that this killer whale was involved with two more previous deaths since his captivity. So why didn't they release him after 1999? Probably because of the word called money. Because releasing animals to the wild costs a lot of money, so Seaworld decided to keep Tilikum even after the tragic death of one of their own employees. Tilikum must be depressed in his own tiny tank, I'm not sure how much longer he can hold on for this series of tricks and stuff. He should be released to where he truly belongs after you trian Tilikum how to hunt, swim in a pod, and etc.



RIP Dawn Brancheau.
